Madam Speaker, as we get closer to Remembrance Day, and I know we are going through Remembrance Week, it is important for us to remember all those who have served and continue to serve and their families, who in many ways serve beyond the battlefield.
I was the critic for Veterans Affairs, and I still wear bracelets 24 hours a day and seven days a week, lest we forget. There is a tribute on my arm to the wounded warriors as well. Some people may think they are props, but they are not. They are not only a way for me to remember my obligation to our veterans every time they call my office for help, as anybody does, but also a tribute. It is the kind of tribute that I pay to remind me of my obligation every single day that I function as a member of Parliament. It is the same obligation I am going to have when my time is up here.
Because of the profound respect that I have for veterans and their families and the prices they paid to serve this nation, I wear them proudly and as a reminder of my obligation not just as a human being, but as a parliamentarian as well.
